Seal and Sea Adventures

Tours depart from the Pilot Station at George Town, on the eastern side of the Tamar River. Travel to Tenth Island on Agro I, a seven metre (23 foot) power cat, or Tamar Spirit, a 10 metre (33 foot) cruiser. Your skipper is a local person with extensive knowledge of the area and excellent boat handling skills. Trips are always subject to weather conditions.

The seal colony on Tenth Island is made up of about 600 Australian fur seals and there are approximately 60 breeding pairs of New Zealand fur seals. Seal and Sea Adventures offer you the chance to snorkel or scuba dive with the seals and a shark shield device can be provided. You can also charter the boats for diving or fishing trips in Bass Strait, along the coastline as far as Bridport or to Flinders Island. Half-day and full-day tours operate from the mouth of the Tamar to the Batman Bridge.

Tours operate daily all year round with a minimum of two and maximum of 21 people.

You can dive around Hebe Reef, at the mouth of the Tamar River, site of many ship wrecks and some of the best underwater scenery in Bass Strait. At nearby Low Head Pilot Station there is a giant kelp forest and a temperate water coral reef.

Diving is also available around the seal colony on Tenth Island and shark shield equipment is provided. The company can also take you to Flinders Island to some special dive sites.

Fishing charters can be deep sea, or the tranquil bays of the Tamar River. Seal and Sea Adventures can provide the gear. There is a maximum of 12 passengers on Agro I and 21 on Tamar Spirit.

Seal and Sea Adventures can take you on a three to four hour seal watching tour to Tenth Island, in Bass Strait. Up to 600 Australian fur seals can be seen. If you would like to get up close and personal with the seals we can provide you with a shark shield device for diving and snorkelling.

There is a maximum of 12 passengers on Agro I and 21 on Tamar Spirit. Seal and Sea Adventures operates subject to weather conditions.

Seal and Sea Adventures will take you on a half or full-day cruise exploring the scenic Tamar River from the river mouth to the Batman Bridge.

The Batman Bridge is one of the world’s longest single span bridges. You can stop off at one of the vineyards for some wine tasting, or lunch at one of the hotels along the river. Your cruise can be tailored to suit your interests.
